hey Nick, as Jose correctly pointed out, Ecosystem Grants typically exceed $250k. In your case, you are not eligible for an Ecosystem Grant, and you should consider applying for Community Committee Grants instead. Community Committee grants cover amounts up to $250k and are approved by the Community Grants Committee.
furthermore, it appears that your proposal was submitted after the deadline. the deadline was set for 23:59 UTC, but your proposal was submitted at 00:09 UTC.
The screenshot displays the time in EEST. therefore, if we convert 3:09 AM EEST to UTC, the corresponding time would be 00:09 UTC.
now I would like to make my comments about DTMB:
- UI: It would be beneficial to ensure that the projects are not distributed in a single column. Instead, organizing them in several adjacent columns could make searching easier.
take the following ecosystem site as an excellent example of how it’s done: Starknet Ecosystem | Discover the future of Ethereum scalability..
furthermore, it seems that some projects in the ecosystem are not being updated, as some no longer support Moonbeam / Moonriver. additionally, the arrangement of projects appears somewhat chaotic. In my opinion, projects with the highest liquidity and activity should be placed upfront to enhance users’ experience when interacting with the ecosystem.

I believe that Moonbeam Ignite has been somewhat of a failure. from personal experience, I assisted participants by answering questions in your channel, where deadlines were frequently changed, and proper support was lacking. moreover, the decision to raffle 100 discount coupons for 8k people resulted in many recipients being unable to utilize them due to excessively high shipping costs. furthermore, the absence of moderation in the channels has enabled users to freely post inappropriate comments and engage in undesirable behavior. these comments include discussions about the number of sybil accounts they possess and the airdrops they can receive in other ecosystems, among other topics. unfortunately, there has been no intervention or moderation to address these issues. consequently, I have observed significant dissatisfaction among users towards Moonbeam following the organization of this event.
-
From my point of view, it seems that your work as an ecosystem project is carried out solely for show. I have not observed any significant activity or support on your part.
In conclusion, I would be very happy to discover that my initial assessment was incorrect, and to witness a vivid demonstration of activity and updates on your part. understanding the key role that projects like DTMB play in showcasing the diverse aspects of the Moonbeam ecosystem, I believe their active participation and interaction are crucial to its overall success. I look forward to witnessing the positive effect of such an interaction, as it can beautifully highlight the multitude of remarkable projects within the Moonbeam ecosystem
